Thanks, that's a more precise analogy. Definitely we were never metaphorically 'friends'with reddit - the best times on the site have been when I didn't really know who was running it or care and they just stayed out of everyone's way.
I can see why mods of any size would want to preserve their existing community, because it's true that most people won't migrate together. With reddit's attitude it seems hopeless at this point to me, though. Perhaps if they had a change of leadership, but it seems likely to only get worse if they IPO and are further corporatized.
